I stood up Sheryl when asked if you will be CEO of this company. In my very first job I was being interviewed by the President of a Sports Memorabilia company and I told him I want, and will have your job some day. At that moment he hired me and took me under his wing and mentored me for the next seven year. After my husbands a job relocation I had to leave the company and seek work in the unforgiving "real world", I struggled to get that confidence back and still do. Your book Lean In and TED Talks and other speeches have inspired me to be that strong person again and SIT AT THE TABLE. - Thank you!

[@mitapatnaik9521]

She's the perfect combination of humility, confidence, grace & charisma... Such a gentle and soft spoken lady

[@TACOMA98408]

Having you in our time, i can dream big for my daughters. I can't thank you enough !!

[@LVMHparis]

She really made some keen observations about women's behavior and psychology!

[@ShaNak1113]

Sheryl is just so awesome...

[@marie-chantalcote3157]

She is getting bad comments from men and good comments from all women. We have an example, just here, of why it is difficult for women to gain credibility. And by the way, she has a Havard MBA…. and that’s not because of quota of women… Guy, finish your MBA, and then I will give you some credibility to your comment.

[@ksgidigulsigd1190]

I admire all powerful and successful women.

[@adrianadri9019]

[@harekrishnamedhi4523]

Sheryl Sandberg Ma'am She Is The Founder Of ( CEO) Chief Environmental Officer Of Facebook She Is My Inspiration Congratulations God Bless You 🙏 Bye

[@DelicateMelodies]

The best that I can comprehend it as is men see everything in the competitive terms of winners & losers.. including gender roles. And they see that if women's accomplishments & issues are being acknowledged than women are "obviously winning" (getting their way) which must mean men are "loosing." Being the loser is upsetting & threatening, because loosing means their being dominated rather than dominating. It doesn't really make sense to me but that is my guess of what (some) men are feeling

[@abundant224]

Very true...The day feminine energy becomes more than masculine, the world will be a better place.

[@livealive7131]

Thankyou

[@inflightexpert]

Awe-inspiringly accomplished - what an inspiration she is

[@janetnashandi6923]

Sheryl is absolutely correct! And I’m going to Harvard next year. Haven’t gotten in yet, but I will.

[@alisacanada6971]

awesome

[@artistsharynbursic2023]

Yes great speech Sheryl. Us woman still have a long way to go in some careers. The home business I own, it's equal ground for all, take a look at my video.

[@ferrame02]

Brilliant

[@toughangel17]

Amazing woman :)

[@juliatollin3551]

I guess it's about her MBA 1995 not facebook 1995

[@mahtabsoin7239]

Great points. Sandberg does, however, paint stereotypes of men to promote her argument against stereotypes of women. Not all men are aggressive alpha males or automatically encouraged to lead. Discrimination and politics is real - some even stemming from affirmative action.

[@nick29oz]

how was facebook made in 1995. when it came out in 2004 please tell me.

[@nick29oz]

you gotta be kidding me facebook was around in 1995 or been talk about .

[@NoeliaCaro]

of course it wasn´t. Mark Z. was a child then, duh... please people if you don´t know something just google it, it takes two seconds to find it on Wikipedia.

[@NoeliaCaro]

so? She advocates for women running 50% of executive positions, no more no no less, read her book before you talk

[@weewilly2007]

Does her authoritative decisiveness ever cross over into unheeding callousness I wonder, pardonable due to the sense of underlying brittleness she projects? Like a stack of fine bone China teacups,rattling away gratingly, but to be taken seriously just because of its costliness? Is this good form?

[@WhiteTiger1969]

And there are claps for this.. Unbelievable! God save America.

[@alisontripney8112]

You either watched the whole video and then made this comment which makes you and idiot for wasting so much of your own time or you didn't watch the whole video and then made this comment which makes you an ignorant idiot.

[@skepticproof]

how could a women state such a sexist speech against men in a prestigeous university and people laught about it and it get posted on youtube ? whats wrong with this world ?

[@AnitaDollar]

Social Darwinism whoop whoop...

[@superperformance]

This is the female version of Ted Cruz.

[@NQBN]

show me a single women who has invented a new thing like men, women are good at telling stories and memorizing other's people's work and books. men have the initiative and the brain power that brings about new things. she is so jealous of men and I can see the frustration on her face caused by women's inability to do what men can do.

[@MrLlamasarethebest]

Naqib Naderi your dishwasher was invented by Josephine Cochrane, your windshield wiper was created by Mary Anderson, Kevlar - Stephanie Kwolek, the game monopoly - Elizabeth Magie, fire escapes - Anna Connelly, the medical syringe that will one day save your ass when you're suffering from some ailment or the other - Letitia Geer, CCTV Cameras - Marie Van Brittan Brown and several other women that your ignorant ass could NEVER compare to.

[@NQBN]

hahha, Dishwasher, windshield wiper. hahha. you forgot the biggest contribution, the women give birth to genius men and beautiful angels like you women. In fact, I love the way you have responded to me. I wanted to provoke some women here. I love it when women are authoritative. looking forward your answer.

[@MrLlamasarethebest]

As a woman, I definitely did not forget that women give birth. 

[@tonyw8001]

Susan Bells, +Naqib Naderi Inspired by Joel Houghton's 1850 machine that simply splashed water on dishes, Josephine Cochran decided to make something more efficient for dish-washing. She did not invent it she improved it BIG BIG difference Mary Anderson Patented the idea but it is believed after her fathers death he was the one that invented it not her and quite a few back up story's atone to this. Poly-paraphenylene terephthalamide - branded Kevlar - by Polish-American chemist Stephanie Kwolek while working for DuPont, in anticipation of a gasoline shortage. In 1964, her ???"GROUP"??? began searching for a new lightweight strong fiber to use for light but strong tires. I'D LIKE TO POINT OUT GROUP and DuPont own the Patent not her. Charles Darrow Invented Monopoly in it's current form but Elizabeth Magie did invent The Landlord's game and not Monopoly On May 7, 1878, the fire escape ladder was patented by Joseph Winters. This was followed by the portable fire escape ladder, which was invented on November 11, 1890, by Daniel McCree of Chicago. One of the first fire escapes of any type was invented in 18th-century England: In 1784, Daniel Maseres, of England, invented a machine called a fire escape, which, being fastened to the window, would enable anyone to descend to the street without injury. The first piston syringes were used in Roman times. During the 1st century AD Aulus Cornelius Celsus mentions the use of them to treat medical complications in his De Medicina.9th century AD 1650: Blaise Pascal invented a syringe (not necessarily hypodermic) as an application of what is now called Pascal's law.1844: Irish physician Francis Rynd invented the hollow needle and used it to make the first recorded subcutaneous injections, specifically a sedative to treat neuralgia.1853: Charles Pravaz and Alexander Wood developed a medical hypodermic syringe with a needle fine enough to pierce the skin. Alexander Wood experimented with injected morphine to treat neuralgia. He and his wife became addicted to it. His wife was the first woman to die of an injected drug overdoseANY IDIOT CAN FILE A PATENT and that is what Letitia Geer did she didn't invent anything but just filed a Patent The first CCTV system was installed by Siemens AG at Test Stand VII in Peenemünde, Germany in 1942, for observing the launch of V-2 rockets.The noted German engineer Walter Bruch was responsible for the technological design and installation of the system. Marie Van Brittan Brown invented the home security system buying a camera and installing it with a coax to the tv is a big step from inventing it DUMBASS. So Not one of these women invented SHIT so Naderi statment is correct.

[@NQBN]

Tony W Susan Bells , Thank you very much Tony W. your information was very accurate and helpful. Hopefully Susan understands the truth by now. I respect women and they have contributed alot to the advancement and civilization of humans, however, they have not invented anything, there are a few billionaire women who are TV hosts and a few of them work at tech industries such as Sheryl Goldberg and a few more. these women are there because those men who are the owners of those Tech companies are kind enough to hire women in order to empower women. otherwise there are many many people with a worthless degree like these women in every corner. the fact the " empowerment of women" is dependent to the will of men. guess who empowers women and who gives these rights to women. the answer is men. anyways, theses are all the facts that we admit, nothing against women.

[@fuckyou60286]

Yes excellent job... at making unprofessional comments about the inability of men to think ahead, among others, in your own words "Imagine if a man did this". Imagine if a man stood up in this professional setting and mentioned numerous stereotypes that exist with women? Thank you for pushing stereotypes in a hypothetical situation. Not only are there several examples of making fun of men, and hypothetical sterotype driving in your speech. But the latter is egregious. Most notably, the event where your husband drove the kid to school in a blue shirt, never happened, and you are still trying to use a stereotype to explain your point.

[@healthymealthy775]

This is too gimmicky ...not trying to be rude, but being highly educated means nothing. There is no correlation to being good in school and being good at work. None.
